中考英语阅读理解：本杰明·富兰克林
Many years ago, there was a family named Franklin. They lived in Boston. There were five girls and six boys in the family. On a January day in 1706 another baby was born. The boy's mother and her husband gave the boy a name—Benjamin[1].
Benjamin was the cleverest of all the children. He could read when he was five and he could write when he was seven. The next year his parents sent[2] him to school.
In school Benjamin was good at reading and writing, but not good at maths. He read all of his father's books. And when he had money, he always went to buy books. He liked books. Theytold him how to do something. The boy liked to use his head and tried to find ways to help people enjoy life more. For example, he tried to know if there was some way to swim farther, maybe with something on his hands or feet. Slowly a picture of swimming shoes, or paddles[3], grew in his mind[4]. The paddles must be neither too big nor too small. And they must be neither too heavy nor light. At last he invented the paddle for swimming.

When a light passenger plane flew off course[1] some time ago, something was wrong with it and it crashed[2] in the
mountains and its pilot[3] was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters,were unhurt. It was the middle of winter.Snow lay thick on the ground.The woman knew that the nearest village was kilometres away.She couldn’t find anything in the snow but a suit-case[4]. When it grew dark, she turned the suit-case into a bed and put the children inside it, covering[5] them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes flying above and wanted to know how she could send a signal[6]. Then she had an idea. She wrote the letters ‘SOS’ in the snow. Luckily, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long
before a group of people arrived and they took the woman and her daughters to hospital at once.
